This concert film captures guitar legend Eric Clapton performing a 198 gig. Assisted by fellow musicians Phil Collins, Greg Phillinganes, and Nathan East, the man delivers nine songs that are a combination of classics like "Whilte Room," "Layla," and Sunshine of Your Love," and new songs off his then current album August ("Miss You," "Tearing Us Apart," and "Run.") ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Michael Keaton plays a famous Chicago-based hockey player who befriends trouble-prone teenager Ajay Naidu (after Naidu's gang has tried to mug him!) He also extends the hand of friendship to Naidu's mother Maria Conchita Alonso, a friendship that blossoms into a physical relationship. Too self-centered to make a commitment to Alonso, Keaton tries to break things off, but Naidu won't let him go so easily. This seemingly frivolous situation is underscored by the more serious efforts of Alonso to make a better life for herself and her son. The comic and dramatic elements of Touch and Go never quite jell, but the winning performances of the three main characters help gloss over the film's unevenness. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
